Is the air in your workplace making you sick?
Radon gas can be found in any building — in both private homes and in workplaces. You won’t be able to see it, smell it, or taste it. But high levels of radon are the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers and the second-leading cause of lung cancer overall.

Testimonials
“We took part in the Radon Workplace Challenge once we were supplied with information on the dangers of radon. After receiving the test kit and informational material, we decided to purchase additional test kits for our employees to test their homes. The kits themselves were very easy to set up and took no effort to maintain. The engagement from our employees was very high. People were very interested in learning about radon and how they can test and protect their homes. Overall, we are very pleased with our experience during this program.” — Kylie, Association of Saskatchewan Realtors
“A while ago, someone I know was diagnosed with lung cancer and it was thought to be from radon gas, as she had never smoked a day in her life. This spring, I saw the Radon Workplace Challenge on social media and thought: since it’s free, why not try it! I am super glad I did, because the office where I work ended up having high levels. Without the free test kits and help from this program, we would never have known about the hazard surrounding us each day. This has prompted our company to take measures to eliminate or reduce this hazard.” — Erik, Chase, BC

We tested all of our childcare centre sites and all results were well below the acceptable limits. This provided comfort in knowing that children are safe from the potential harm of radon gas. In turn, this sparked some to test their homes. Thanks for providing our community with valuable information.” – Andrew Fleck Children's Services-Alta Vista
